ELEVEN

Espen

There was a big problem.

Huge.

Epic.

As she followed him into the elevator in his apartment building which she had actually been in once before, in high school when she had a tutor who lived there. Well, fine, a tutor who became a sort-of boyfriend for a while.

She had visions of terrible carpets, tile, and countertops momentarily as he hit the button for his floor.

But those ideas lasted all of point-two seconds.

Because there were more pressing issues to deal with.

Like the fact that Enzo absolutely was every bit as good looking as he thought he was. Well, likely more. While Enzo did have a sort of laid-back confidence, he wasn't as cocky as his looks dictated he absolutely could have been. He had supermodel-worthy bragging rights. So... yeah. He was hot. She knew he was hot. He knew that she knew he was hot.

And she was getting the distinct impression that he had totally just conned her into saying he wasn't that attractive so that he could get her to his place where he wanted her.

If that was true, well, he was a much bigger threat to her professionally than she had originally thought. Not only was he better with people, but he could pull off something that clever. It not only said that he knew she was someone who never backed down from a challenge, but was too damn prideful just to admit she wanted him. It meant he was a lot better at reading people than it seemed like he was.

That was a really important trait on the job.

Plus, she had gotten her ass handed to her on their first case.

She was stacking up strikes against her way too fast.

And his ass came in all knight in shining armor-y and saved the damn day, called in backups that said he was a team player and acknowledged his own weaknesses - all things potential employers would respect.

Ugh.

As pressing as those work-related issues were, they weren't even the most dominant problem she was facing.

No.

She was about to be trapped in what had to be a small apartment with Enzo for, well, as long as it took for her not to hiss and cry out if she took too deep a breath.

The crazy part was, she was almost looking forward to it.

Not the fighting her sexual attraction to him - and there absolutely was a lot of that.

Nope.

She was looking forward - of all things - to being taken care of.

It went against everything she thought of herself, had carefully cultivated all her life. She was independent, damn it. She made her own - okay, ordered her own - chicken noodle soup when she had a cold. She stitched her own hand when she sliced it open with a box cutter. She paid her bills. She took her own trash out. She took care of every damn thing herself.

It wasn't in her nature - she thought - not to only do it all, but not have the desire to do it all.

She liked taking care of herself.
